HC Deb 24 October 1985 vol 84 cc230-1W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will arrange for a fresh analysis of the human morbidity data seen by the Lenihan Review Group, together with more recent data not seen by that group, on the basis of the place of residence (and therefore exposure) of patients rather than their place of treatment.

Mr. John MacKay

The information on human morbidity provided to the independent review group chaired by Professor Lenihan was prepared on the basis of place of residence of patients and not place of treatment. My right hon. Friend has no plans to undertake fresh analyses of this information.
